Beginner's Guide to Ecosystems
Ecosystems are communities of living organisms in conjunction with the non-living components of their environment, interacting as a system. These biotic and abiotic components are linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. 🌱🌞
Key Components of Ecosystems
- Producers (e.g., plants)
- Consumers (e.g., animals)
- Decomposers (e.g., fungi and bacteria)
